Some comments on our Braemar cruise and Freds policies. Cruise 4/4/15- 11/4/15.
Departed Harwich. Ports , Hamburg, Amsterdam and Antwerp.
Exceptional service from crew, especially our cabin stewardess.
No "self service" whatsoever during this cruise due to outbreak of Novirus. Waiters worked exceptionally hard to serve guests and always had a smile for me even though they must have been very tired due to their extra shifts.
Bar waiters seem to be overworked due to the All Inclusive deal. There seemed to be less bar staff to serve more customers.
Shore tours far too expensive ( as always).
Fred has changed its policy towards children. Fred has signed a partership deal with Saga who are marketing Freds cruises.Until last year I had not seen any "adults only" cruises. Both this year and next year I have been unable to book the cruise that I wanted due to the above policy. Fred is concentrating on its core market ( the over 60s).
My family like Fred due to its small ships and personal service that we have not found elsewhere.
Moving to P+O for next year due to Freds new policy on children.We are sad to move cruise lines as we have had many happy memories with Fred.
